Breakwater Breakthrough

8/1/2011

Breakthrough with Hotel Breakwater as the Ocean Drive icon "reclaims" its SoBe throne.

Billed as the "launching pad of the South Beach lifestyle in the 80s (it was the setting for Calvin Klein's Kate Moss Obsession ad)," the hotel has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation and is back with sleek penthouses, intimate lounges and "unfiltered" concierges. The 100-room Art Deco property boats iPod docking stations, organic mini bars, rainforest showers and a bank of private penthouses featuring private plunge pools and terraces. Loungers can retreat to the poolside Wellness Garden, a butlered Internet Lounge, the guest-only beach zone or the rooftop Intimissi Lounge. While diners can get their fix at NINE, an "east-meets-west culinary concept" offering Neapolitan pizzas, hand-made pastas, local seafood and an imported European cheese bar.
